Can this be used for reptile UVB/UVA florescent t5 HO tubes?

Any T5 bulb that will fit can be used; the two-pin ends are universal. That said, it uses an odd length that I think only this brand makes. So you'll have to check Zoo Med's bulb selection and see if they make what you need. I suspect they do as they are known for their reptile habitats as well.

Not sure if it can be hooked up this way but even if it can it is a bad idea. You want the UV filter to be AFTER all other filtration to reduce the amount of contaminates that could potentially become trapped inside the UV tank. The more 'gunk' you allow to get trapped inside the UV tank, the less effective the UV bulb will be. As others have also pointed out, you also want to keep the good bacteria in your filter element. Despite the filters and/or UV treatment, it is the good bacteria that is doing the majority of the work in keeping your water balanced and (hopefully) clear.

i think it would be fine, theyre not are not too hot and and depending on the temperature require of the reptile or amphibian you can always double or triple up, i have a set up where during the day i run 3 of them with a UVB bulb to get the correct temperature and sunlight vitamins and at night i just turn the UVB and and one sunglo off and they give off a soft enough light to use asa night time setting and a nighttime temp without dropping too low

I am using my EnviroGro light for orchids, but I think it would be quite suitable for african violets.

The FugeRay2 may work, but Finnex makes another light that is expressly intended for your use. I currently have a Finnex Ray2 light that works very well on my 90 gallon (a bit over 25" deep) for plants on the bottom of the tank.

You probably will... if you have to use those things for other items that are designed for the US Standard voltage plug. I hope this helps. This is an awesome product used with the Zoo Med Aviansun 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent Bulb.

That I don't know. That tube was specific for the lamp I had, which I do not have anymore. I also can't say about the wattage. Sorry I can not be more help.

It is for florescent bulbs which do not emit much heat. It is good for bulbs that emit UVB which a lot of reptiles need.

I am only running it as a UV sterilizer on a 10 gallon nano reef tank. I have a HOB wisper filter for my mechanical filtration. So I really don't know.

No bulbs or ceramic heaters are provided. Considering different reptiles require different amounts of heat & various strengths of uv lighting, it is up to the individual to research what specific needs your reptile requires & then buy the proper lights & heat globes.

I'm glad to see an owner actually take concern over how muc UVB is actually reaching their reptile! Props! I don't believe this hood is mountable but you can buy a different hood at a hardware store or even here on Amazon that can house the bulb.P.S. 25-50% UV loss is not negligible.

You can and I do. I have two mini lamps for heat and one for UVB. It works out very well.

This lamp is for Honeywell RUVLAMP1/C UV Air Treatment System only. Do not attempt to use it for anything else.

Hello- Exo Terra recommends 4" - 16" for proper UVB exposure for bearded dragons. Here is a link to the website for more details. http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/solar_glo.php

Looking at a picture of the battery of the UV-B5, it looks to be of a different size/form factor. I would email or call their technical support and ask them directly to get an answer.

This bulb is perfect for all reptiles that require natural sunlight. You will need to get the right length bulb for your cage/tank, but it's a great product.

Yes. There spectrum includes both UVA & UVB. I use them to help both my reptiles and live plants get the light they need.
